When I load my RAW photos on the computer they don't show up as thumbnails in windows, but in Picasa and in Adobe Bridge, they show up as photos. If there is a way to get them to show up as thumbnails in windows, I don't know about it.

Bobbie, you need to download the camera raw update for your camera from the adobe site. I've had the same problem, its a camera thing and the update should take care of it. When I change them to dng files in lightroom, I can see them ok. I'm not sure I've got it all straight yet either. Still learning all the ins and outs of this camera. But i love it too.

thanks sandi, i will go to the website and see what i can find.... and i didnt know that windows would see the dng files...i had been converting to dng..but then i forgot to ...so i guess i could try that too...wonder if that works for my acdsee also, cause i have an older version and it doesnt see the 7D...havent decided if i would upgrade my acdsee yet...so this may be a fix for that too..thanks...

I downloaded the update too and still can't see the thumbnails in Vista Windows Explorer. I use Windows Photo Gallery too and they are not at all visible there. I even downloaded an update from Microsoft for that the first time WPG encountered raw photos (mine are .CR2). Who knows?

I'm not too bothered by it as I don't shoot in RAW very often, but it is a curious thing, isn't it?

it is cool that with a little searching on the internet and some friendly advice from some computer/camera people in the know and just a wee investment you can now see your raw photos...glad to pass this along
